Gripen Aggressor

摘要

Saab used the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition in London in September to launch a new variant of its JAS 39 Gripen fighter. The new Gripen Aggressor aircraft is based on the JAS 39C Gripen C. The Swedish manufacturer said the Aggressor has the same handling and flight characteristics, sensors and data link capabilities as the Gripen C, but has no live weapons capability. Saab's head of Gripen marketing and sales Richard Smith said at DSEI that the company sees potential for the Aggressor with the US Air Force's Adversary Air and UK Ministry of Defence's Air Support to Defence Operational Training (ASDOT) programmes.
